No global application menu for Aptana Studio 3

Question

I installed Aptana 3 in ubuntu 11.04, unity and found the global menu integration is not proper. How can I have global menu support for Aptana ?

Answer 1

I found you can do the following at the command line (src: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-appmenu/+bug/659931):

$ UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=

Then start the application:

./studio3

I edited the "studio3" starter script adding

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=

as the 3rd or 4th line to make this change permanent. Make a backup before you edit "studio3", to be safe.

Answer 2

I got it right working :) (Although not Global Menu, atleast I get all menu options)

Here is the solution http://blog.lukebennett.com/2011/07/05/menu-issue-with-aptana-studio-3-on-ubuntu-11-0/

Dont forget to replace ./AptanaStudio3with ./TitaniumStudio

Here is the full script that I used,

#!/bin/bash
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0
./TitaniumStudio

Answer 3

Many applications don't have global menu integration yet, and chances are, you probably can't have it, at least for now. You could try filing a bug report or contacting the project devs, and state your case.
